Petersburgh, April 11. On Easter Sunday the steeple of the
church, which was built last year in the Haymarket, tumbled
down while they were ringing the bells, killed 20 persons,
and wounded 30 other in such a manner their lives are
despaired of.
Paris, May 2. The 26th of last month at 5 in the
morning, the steeple of the Abbey of the regular canons of
St. Genevieve at Ham in Piccardy was struck by lightening:
Four large bells were melted, the two turrets, this isle,
